Hey, Istanbul is the European Culture city for 2010... or something like that.
What does it mean?
Is there going to be some culture here next year?
Where? What? When?

    Wow! No idea but time to check the Hidrellez festival on May 6th which is when most of my friends tend to go. Would love to know more about it myself.
    And besides, you don't need to wait for next year to find some culture in Istanbul. ; )

        well, that organization, Cultural Capital stuff is not focused on oryantal dans or romani stuff. I am sure there are many other sites that will give you enough info. i could not name one immediately but i will whenever I can!

          I just meant that I expected that to be part of the cultural year.
          Maybe it is like tango- everybody goes to Buenos Aires to find Argentine tango and the Argentines were embarrassed to have that dance in their culture. Until they realised how many people it attracts and then they made it a cultural heritage.
